Following the Transition Date, Employee may serve as a director on any number of public or private companies, provided the applicable company is not a Competitor, without the need to obtain the Company’s or KLA’s consent. In addition, beginning on and following the

The amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, will depend on the achievement of the objectives set forth in Exhibit A1 (the “Annual Bonus Objectives”).
